Description from above auction:
Motor City
26 July 2014
Lot 133
1955 Jaguar XK140 MC Drophead Coupe
To be auctioned on Saturday, July 26, 2014
$100,000 - $125,000
Chassis no. S 818857
Engine no. G 8781-8S
Body no. P 5318
This XK140 MC has been in its current ownership for 15 years, and about a decade ago it was treated to a meticulous body-off restoration at Jaguars Unlimited in Chicago. The body was stripped to bare metal and refinished in red, which nicely contrasts with a new tan Connolly leather interior. The burled walnut dashboard and interior woodwork are all new, along with the top mechanism and the wool carpets, and all of the instruments have been completely restored.
This Jaguar is a veteran of the California Mille, and it has been upgraded with an aluminum radiator, an electric fan, and a Mallory electronic ignition system, for carefree driving. The owner did not regularly show it, but in a post-restoration appearance at Autorama in Detroit, it came away with the Best Sports Car award.
It comes with a binder that contains all of the restoration receipts and other documentation, including a Heritage Certificate from the Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust, which attests to its as-delivered specification. This matching-numbers car, with the coveted C-Type head and overdrive, is surely among the best of its breed available today.
Lot 133 Sold for $104,500
